Paz who I believe had much help in his weight gain and muscle mass from steroids and was around bodybuilders and powerlifters in his entourage, was very confident, mobile but did not look good to me against the bigger men like Lucas.
Vinnie would probably have taken a bad beating had this fight took place.
Paz putting on that weight via steroids and competing with all that hot dog flash, candy store flurries, tassles, entourage full of power lifters and then claiming the crowns at that weight, prompted me to pick Steve Collins, a totally natural, but super tough 160-68 pounder to walk through all that artifiicial flash.
